Passport/Visa Note

Nationals of any country can obtain a visa on arrival in
Djibouti, for a fee. Visas obtained on arrival are usually valid
for up to one month, but immigration officials may grant a longer
or shorter stay. It is advisable to arrange a visa in advance as
relying on getting one on arrival is risky. All travellers must
hold: (i) return or onward tickets; (ii) required entry
documentation for their next destination; (iii) sufficient funds to
cover their stay in Djibouti or a voucher if travelling in an
organised tour. NOTE: It is highly recommended that your passport
has at least six months validity remaining after your intended date
of departure from your travel destination. Immigration officials
often apply different rules to those stated by travel agents and
official sources.

Note: Passport and visa requirements are liable to change at short notice. Travellers are advised to check their entry requirements with their embassy or consulate.
